Sixteen gigabytes of DDR5 memory supports typical office multitasking and light content creation, while the 256GB NVMe drive provides fast boot and application loading.

Questions about this item

Will the HDMI 2.1 (TMDS) and DisplayPort 1.4a ports drive my older 1080p monitors without adapters?

Yes — both video outputs are native HDMI 2.1 (TMDS) and DisplayPort 1.4a, so any monitor with HDMI or DisplayPort input will work directly.

How can I confirm the Intel Core Ultra 9 285 is running at its 5.6 GHz turbo speed after setup?

Open Task Manager, select the Performance tab, choose CPU and watch the clock speed rise toward 5.6 GHz during a heavy single-thread load.

The box lists a Dell KB216 wired keyboard and wired mouse — do I need to buy any cables or dongles for them?

No, both peripherals connect via standard USB-A cables already attached; just plug them into any free USB 2.0 or 3.2 Gen 1 port.
